The British Museum said: “The British Museum is delighted that so many international students make visits and identify it as their favorite museum in London. With a collection reflecting the whole world, there is truly something for students of all nationalities, whether they want to see objects from their own part of the world or to explore cultures that they are less familiar with.”

Last year, the British Museum received a record 6.7 million visitors, an increase of 20% from 2012. Some of the most popular exhibitions included "Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum" and "Ice Age Art".
